Overview
Send links, text and files between Chrome, your Android phone and your Mac. End-to-end encrypted, with history on every device.
fwd (pronounced "forward") sends links, text and files between your browser, your Android phone and your Mac. Everything is end-to-end encrypted, and every forward lands in a history you can search on each device. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Send the page you're on, a link, selected text, an image or a file from the toolbar, the right-click menu or a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+X, or Cmd+Shift+X on a Mac). • Type a message, attach up to five files, or both: they arrive together as one forward. • Send to one device or to all of them, on any network. A device that's offline gets it when it reconnects. • Receive links with a preview, ready to open or copy. Files sent to this browser save to your Downloads folder. • Find anything you've sent or received in a searchable history, synced across your devices. • Very long text arrives intact as a .txt file. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your devices encrypt everything before it leaves them. fwd's servers relay and store only encrypted data, and can't read your forwards, your file names or the names of your devices. • A new device joins your account only when one you already have approves it. • No passwords and no ads. You sign in with a code sent to your email. WORKS WITH • Chrome and other Chromium browsers, such as Edge, Brave, Arc and Vivaldi, on Windows, Mac and Linux. • The fwd app for Android 8.0 and later, and the fwd menu bar app for macOS 14 and later, both available to beta members. PRIVATE BETA fwd is in a free private beta, and you need an invite to create an account. Request one right where you sign in, or join the waitlist at https://usefwd.io During the beta you can send files up to 25 MB, store 1 GB and use up to 5 devices, and those limits stay free after the beta.
